Post-OP in US after surgery in Mexico

[Katieshmay 2]

I've made the decision to go to Mexico, I'm in the research phase but anyways, I dont have insurance. Does anyone have experience with post OP care in my situation? Would love any insight thank you!

Just research the doc well! My doc (Tucson AZ) takes care of a lot of patients from Mexico with complications. His "complications" rate for himself is very low, but much higher when you take into account his patients from Mexico. But, there are plenty of good docs there too.

Some US docs won't care for patients that had surgery in Mexico due to the higher complication rates in Mexico, some will.

Again, just do your research! I personally wouldn't have surgery in Mexico myself, but I also did not have any trouble getting insurance to approve it here in the US. Others have had great success with Mexico surgeries.
